 i wrote the elfspice guide, idk if you ever heard of it... was hosted on tripod

pretty sure the knowhow i acquired from my hive days was the key... dry the damn solvent

DRY THE DAMN NAPTHA AFTER YOU EXTRACT THE FREEBASE INTO IT

the difference of just that one thing is incredible

back then, orange goo was the norm, and i couldn't vape it because it gave me literal asthma... the only one time i ever broke through the dude was giving me a run on a tube that was caked with crystals that had accumulated from his previous use, and he had figured it out i think (circa 1998) but he didn't let on what it was... i figured it out after my research on the hive circa 2002-3

so i can probably help you get over the first part of the learning process btw
